In early 1964, James D. Van Trump and Arthur P. Ziegler, Jr. sought to create a preservation group that would provide means of saving and restoring historic homes and public buildings that were slated for the wrecking ball. The Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation was incorporated on Sept. 30, 1964, and in 1966, received a $100,000 grant from the Sarah Mellon Scaife Foundation and committed the resources to the deteriorating Central North Side area with the intention of creating what turned out to be the first racially integrated, mixed income historic district in the nation. The PH&LF promoted the area, and helped to establish an independent neighborhood organization -- the Mexican War Streets Society.
